At 7.30pm at the Comrades Hall on Friday, 20th May, Broadwindsor’s Community Film Club will be showing…

The Electrical Life of Louis Wain (12)

Directed by Will Sharpe and starring Benedict Cumberbatch & Clare Foy.

Moving from the late 1800s through to the 1930s, we follow the incredible adventures of this inspiring, unsung hero, as he seeks to unlock the “electrical” mysteries of the world and, in so doing, to better understand his own life and the profound love he shared with this wife Emily Richardson (Claire Foy).

Doors open at 7pm for 7.30pm.
Film Club members – Free entry
Guests – £4
Refreshments available, including a bar.
Please wear your mask when moving around the hall.

We have learned
from ages past
That hope and heart
and courage lasts
This beating heart
of wood and stone
A redoubt of place
for our village soul
A bastion of community
A centre for connection
participation, commiseration
and joyous celebration
Shelter from the storm
Take time to think
By our hearth
take food and drink
Reflect on the journey
Those that led and fell
Those valiant hearts
whose tales we’ll tell
On this small spot
of England’s ground
As long as people
gather round
About the Lionheart…
that lives in England still
This beating pulse
of a communities will
This White Lion…
This lions heart…
This Broadwindsor!

The Little Folk At No. 25

Nestled by a tree in Yarn Barton are “The Little Folk” who appear to have settled in nicely over the past few months…

With woodland creatures keeping lookout in the tree and a polite notice saying not to let your dog poo there…

Someone kindly left them Easter Eggs at Easter time.

There’s even a visitor’s book! (which Broadwindsor.org signed 🙂 )

Who are the Little Folk looking after this communal garden? That’s their secret…
